“This push of warm air may feel like a heat wave for some following the stretch of fall-like temperatures across the Midwest and Northeast; although no records are expected to be broken during this warm-up,” said Brian Edwards, meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.

Tuesday will see a high about 85 degrees and Wednesday will hit 88 degrees.

A slight chance for storms is possible Wednesday night and Thursday as a cold front moves through Michigan, according to the National Weather Service office in Grand Rapids.

That polar jet stream dropping south will still be well north of West Michigan, so the possibility of storms remains low and temperatures won’t fall that much, the weather service said on its website.

“Bottom line is I believe for the most part it will largely be dry most places through this period and temperatures (highs and lows) will be 5 to 10 degrees above normal,” the National Weather Service meteorologist wrote this morning.

The weekend is looking clear so far with highs in the mid-80s.

On the lakeshore today, waves will be less than a foot with a low risk of swimming hazards at Allegan and Ottawa county beaches. Water temperatures are about 66 degrees.

Beach air temperatures will be cooler than inland — about 79 degrees.

The weekend was also topped the average high temperature of 81 degrees. Saturday’s and Sunday’s highs were 83 degrees.

Before the weekend, the last time the West Michigan Regional Airport recorded a temperature at or above the normal high was Aug. 10 at 81 degrees. From there, the highs dropped to 70 degrees on Aug. 13 before climbing back through the 70s to the weekend’s 81-degree readings.
